Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to know you better
Let's spend some time together
I'm gonna be what's on your mind

Look in my eye's they're calling
I need your love to fall in
If you could just give me a sign
I can't get over baby
I can't get over now
I can't get over this feeling, I feel

[Chorus]
Now,right now
It's the fire inside you
Feels like I feel
NOW,right now
Deep inside me
Deep inside me

I'm tired of make believin', I'm lost and barely breathin'
I'm on the ceiling help me down, yeah
I'll be the risk your takin'
And I won't rest until your mine, oh

I want to show you baby
I want to show you now
I want to tell you this feeling I feel

[Chorus]

I can't get over this feeling I feel right now
Yeah.
Now,right now
Let the fire inside you
Burn like I burn

[Chorus]

Deep inside
Deep inside me




Deep inside me

Perfect evolution of the greatest rock band in history. Not stuck in the past and yet remaining true to their identity while not trying to be something THEY AINT...

they have done that from their very first album ON THROUGH THE NIGHT all the way to this very day..

They have changed while ramaining the same..

I LOVE DEF LEPPARD...

A very underrated song from their catalog, and one that I wish had become a regular staple for their live shows.

Dubs

Love this song, and the video, and..Joe's hair!

Emin

Def Leppard is a sound of their own which is what makes them among the great rock bands of all time!

Maverick74

This for me is the most underrated album DF had put out. The critics called it a pop album and it was anything but good old DF .. there’s not a song on this album that I didn’t like. I think it was a masterpiece of writing. Great album

Cindy Imhoff

Totally agree!!

james allen

I think this is a beautiful song and it's painful to see it as a underrated song.

Andrei Aciobanitei

Such gifted songwriters. And you hear all these know-it-all rockers/metalheads putting them down for albums like Hysteria or Adrenalize. Unbelievable. Top notch songwriting is what separated this band from tens of others.

ERIC GONZALES

You are so on it. Wayne Hector and is awesome with Long Long Way To Go
